My son has been posting his training log here for about 6 months. After seeing his progress and hearing BBM ideas about programming for “older” lifters I’ve decided to pay more attention to my own training. I’m 57 years old and have been training for many years. I have competed in power lifting. My best lifts are 550 squat, 365 bench and 525 DL. I hit these numbers around 1994-96 in the 242 lb weight class. My recent best lifts are 415 Sq, 300 bench and 415 DL. I hit these lifts without really any planned training program. I will be following the same template as my son and would like to lift in a PL meet at the gym I belong to in July. Along with my strength training I will weigh myself daily and try to get down to a healthier weight. My current weight is 294 at 5’11”.
